'Actually
was on the tube that day and I thought I'd tweet it to prove to
everyone that I can do it. I'm quite an independent girl really,' she
said.

The blonde star,
who wore a clinging green and black Milly dress for her morning interview,
went on to admit that what she did was wrong, but that it may have been a
good thing in the long run.

On a high: Sarah grinned as she left the ITV studios after her interview, looking pleased to have set the record straight

'Normal person': Sarah insisted that she does use public transport from time to time, contrary to popular opinion

Get used to it: Sarah hopped into the back of her waiting car as she left the ITV studios, after receiving a driving ban for using her mobile phone behind the wheel

'I mean if anything it’s raised
awareness of how dangerous it can be. People text behind the wheel and
they can swerve – they can kill people,' she said.

'And
in a way, it has turned around for the better. I can say that to
people,' she added, sounding positive about the experience.

It
seems that Sarah has taken the court's advice to heart, after district
judge Nina Tempia told her: ‘You are a normal person. I can see no
reason why you shouldn’t be disqualified,' after she tried to use her
celebrity status to lift the ban.

Negative into a positive: The singer seemed to be looking on the bright side of the incident, saying that it has 'raised awareness'

The star also opened up about Girls Aloud split, saying: 'It’s liberating, it’s kind of, it’s a new chapter, it’s a release, but at the same time you do feel like you’re missing a part of you, if that makes sense.'

Sarah revealed that she's already working on her solo material and has started recording:

'I'm lucky enough to be able to record at home at the moment, so I’ve just been getting some great tracks in. I’ve been writing, just working with loads of different people,' she said.

Words in action: Sarah tweeted a picture of herself on the tube earlier in the week, to prove to her fans that she's using public transport
